Polarisation
Question

Two polarising sheets are placed parallel with their  polarising axes. The intensity of emergent light is Im  Now, one of the sheets is rotated through an angle θ. If the intensity of emergent light is reduced to half  i.e. ,Im2 then the angle θ will be

Moderate
Solution

we know that

 I=Imcos2θ Im2=Imcos2θ  or  cos2θ=12  or cosθ=1/2  θ=±45  or  ±135
